It has great ideas from other podcasts and interview.You use Ocarina of Time style song playing for special attacks,One of the levels you have to escort people in a prison and guide them Overlord style.

I've never been a big fan of his games post Monkey Island (ain't played most of 'em, really). But the industry could use hella more Tim Schafers. Him, Ken Levine and Kojima (I'm sure you know one I missed). A small handful of true story-tellers in a massive and quickly expanding industry.

Not that there aren't other good stories in games. But those appear to usually involve a lot of outside help and a massive team of writers. And I feel hiring Hollywood or Comic book writers is a mistake. Interactivity changes everything when telling a story within a game. Design is always key, and having a writer who understands it obviously connects with the audience in a more profound way.
